A simple, sensitive and specific liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method with minimal sample pretreatment was developed for the simultaneous analysis of sildenafil and its metabolite desmethylsildenafil in human serum. Sample pretreatment consisted of adding a methanolic solution of the internal standard vardenafil to the samples. After vortexing and centrifugation the samples were directly injected onto the C18 column using gradient elution. The aqueous and organic mobile phases were ammonium acetate 2 mM supplemented with 0.1% formic acid in water and methanol, respectively. The detection by a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in positive ESI ionization mode was completed within 5 min. The lower limits of quantification for sildenafil and desmethylsildenafil are 1.0 ng/ml. The intra- and inter-day precisions measured as relative standard deviation were within 10% for both compounds over the linear range. Intra- and inter-day accuracy of sildenafil and desmethylsildenafil ranged from 92 to 103%. This method has been used in a clinical pharmacokinetic study of sildenafil in intensive care patients.
